In this chapter, we discuss four more families of compounds in which the carbonyl group is present: carboxylic acids, esters, acid chlorides, and acid anhydrides. STRUCTURE OF CARBOXYLIC ACIDS AND THEIR DERIVATIVES A carboxylic acid is an organic compound whose functional group is the carboxyl group. What is a carboxyl group? A carboxyl group is a carbonyl group (CϭO) with a .
